Raya laid there peacefully. Caleb watched her sleep and tucked a strand of her hair back. Could they keep doing this? Fight then make up. He sighed and Raya just shifted a little. He drifted thinking about her.
They'd both slept through the rest of the day and night. When the alarm went off to wake Raya for school she shot up straight. For a minute she just sat that then she looked down at Caleb who was sleeping through the alarm. She smiled slighty as she ran her hand through her messy hair. A shower was definitely called for.
"Caleb wake up…now." She mumbled
He only groaned grumbled at her.
"C'mon I'm serious." She said half whining
He didn't move an inch. What was worse was that Raya was sure that she was sorer than him.
"Fine…I'm going to get a shower and head to school." Raya said
Caleb turned over than and wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her even further onto the bed.
"Not going anywhere." He said
She giggled as she felt him kiss the back of her neck then moving onto her collarbone.
"Caleb as much as I really wouldn't mind going another round I can't." Raya said "I need to get my studies finished which requires me to go to school."
"Mmmm not today." He said
Raya sighed feeling his hands against her body.
"Today…" she sighed as she felt her body betray her and sag into him
He was warm and his touches to her were more than heaven. Then quickly she opened his eyes realizing what he was doing.
"Oh no." she said
Quickly she pulled away and looked back at him. Caleb just chuckled.
"I had to try."
Raya just shook her head at him as she clutched the blanket around her. She bit her bottom lip then grinned.
"Here I was thinking you were the sweet one." she said
With that she turned and walked for the bathroom. She remembered when she managed to beg her mom for this room. It made her happy knowing she never had to share the bathroom with Jake. He took too long anyways.
As Raya made it to the door a hand shot out and grabbed a hold of her. Caleb spun her around to face him.
"Did you want something?" She asked as she quirked an eyebrow at him
"Possibly." He grinned as he leaned down and kissed her
She could never be tired of this feeling. It made her legs ready to give out. It was lucky that he had an arm around or she might've hit the floor.
"I'm not quite sure." she said pulling away a little "You'll have to be more specific."
He pulled here even closer against him and like that she had molded to him.
"You're stalling me." she mumbled
"Damn right. I'd rather you be right here with me." he said looking down at her "Because, I don't ever want to feel the way I did yesterday ever."
Raya pulled away as well as looked away. That was the only reason. He was just showing that he claimed her.
"And…" he added as he turned her chin towards him so she was looking at him "I don't ever want you to feel that way. If you're feeling wrong about it please…please act like the jealous bitch. It's rather cute on you."
Raya smirked.
"Raya as hard as it is to believe I find you to be extremely amazing and beautiful."
"Here, I thought you'd be getting rid of me." Raya said
"Not quite yet. I just got you back." he said "And if fighting does this, I want to fight more often."
Caleb grinned even wider as Raya hit him in the chest.
"I blame you for this happening." She said
"But you loved it." he said
Before she could add anything he kissed her and silenced her thoughts. She pushed away and licked her lips. Looking up into his soft brown eyes she smiled and touched his cheek. He was so different than she imagined and she was sure it was for the better. Yes, she thought to herself, for the better.
"I really need to get a shower." She said
He grinned even wider.
"I don't know what you have planned…" Raya trailed off as she heard the door behind her open and Caleb pushing her back into it
"Just a shower." He said looking at her mischievously
"What have I done to you." She giggled as he nipped down at her neck and closed the door
"You think their dead?" Reid asked as he pulled toast from the toaster
"Nope, but we could always hope." Jake said laughing
As if on cue the two lovebirds walked in. Raya sat at the table with Reid while Caleb stood at the counter checking her out.
"Oh c'mon." Jake snapped "Really? You couldn't be more discreet about it?"
Jake shook his head and walked out of the kitchen. Reid just chuckled.
"Well, at least Raya had the honor of making you a man dude. Nothing wrong with that." Reid said
Raya picked up the first thing in front of her which happened to be an empty plate and threw it at him. it stopped mid flight. Reid looked past it at her with a smirk.
"Honestly…a plate."
Raya just stuck out her tongue. Caleb walked over and grabbed the object frozen in mid air then smacked Reid upside the head.
"You're lucky Jake wasn't in here." Caleb said
Raya grinned while Reid glared.
"Whatever. It's not like I'm here for a pissing contest. If I were it'd probably be with Pogue or something like that." Reid grumbled
"Awe. Reid got beaten so sad." Raya fake pouted
"Ray stow it." he growled
"Or what?" Raya challenged "You're living in my house."
He raised his eyebrows at her and she just grinned.
"That doesn't even matter." He said
"Oh?"
In the next instant he flung his toast at her.
"Oh you didn't."
He sat back and crossed his arms shrugging.
"Ray…" Caleb warned
"I'm being nice…so far." She said as she stood and peeled the piece of food from her chest
Then turning towards the sink she grabbed the nozzle for the sprayer.
"So you want to be like a child huh?" she said
Reid didn't say anything. Turning on him she sprayed him with water.
"Raya!" Reid yelled
"I'm gone." Caleb said quickly and left the room to leave the two to fight amongst themselves
Caleb saw Jake searching around.
"Have you seen my phone?" he asked Caleb
"No..." Caleb responded half thinking about it
Then all of the sudden there was a crash coming from the kitchen.
"What the hell?" Jake said
"Just Reid and Raya being Reid and Raya." Caleb said brushing it off
"Right." Jake said seeming not so sure
"Look I'll go settle them before they take apart the house and see you out at the car." Caleb said
Jake nodded upon pulling out his phone from the crack of the couch. As Caleb walked into the kitchen he froze and cocked his head to the side. Raya had her legs wrapped around Reid's neck and he had an arm around her waist trying to pull her off.
"You cheat Ray." He said
"Me? never." She laughed
"You done?" Caleb asked
Raya let go and stood and fixed her clothes.
"Not yet. That was only round one." she said triumphantly
"I let you win." Reid said
"Oh please…is it because I'm a girl?" she questioned
"Oh it's most definitely not because you're a girl." He said glaring
"Can we go?" Caleb asked impatiently
Raya just smiled and walked out like nothing happened.
"That chick is like a snake." Reid mumbled as he walked out behind her
"I can't go anywhere with you two." Caleb said shaking his head
Caleb piled into the back with Raya who just leaned back into him and just sighed. Right as Jake parked Raya jumped out then paused. Caleb took her hand and pulled her along.
"Nothing is going ot happen and if she tries what she did I'm pulling her off and screaming rape." He said
"Yeah, that will go over well. She that nice sweet kind of girl no one can say no to." Raya said
"then I'll be the first."
Reid snorted and rolled his eyes.
"What?" Raya asked
"Nothing." he said with a grin "See you in first period."
"Whatever." She said
"He take your side more than he's ever taken mine…I think that says something." Caleb said
Raya laughed.
"Yeah, he likes me more than you." Raya said
"Well you're his kind of species…female."
Raya laughed even harder. He leaned down and kissed her then. As he did a certain question popped into her head. Well, more than one, but this one was a little specific.
"Caleb…" she said
"Hmm."
"About the dreams…why'd you leave?"
"Because I shouldn't have done it."
"But you won't come back now that I know?" she asked
"It was the reason you broke up with me and got so mad." He said
"Right…nevermind." She said
She kind of missed though she wouldn't admit it. He was right though. Then again it wasn't a lie or anything like that now. The other question that nagged at her. She couldn't even ask it to herself.
As she sat down in her usual seat by Reid she noticed something was off. She looked around the class.
"Uh Reid."
He looked over at her.
"Where's Sarah?" she asked
He just smiled wide. She knew that smile. He'd done something.
"Well, she wanted a great education and I gave her a recommendation to a good school. It just happens she got in." he said
"You didn't." she said with wide eyes
He started chuckling
"You're welcome." He said as she leaned over and hit him in the arm
She started laughing herself.
Jamie walked over and leaned against the doorway next to Tyler. The small blonde was taking out a notebook.
"That her?" she asked
"Yup." Tyler said flatly
"Well, I'll go introduce myself." Jamie said with venom on the tip of her tongue
Raya hadn't spared her on the details of what happened. And Jamie would be damned if anyone got away with hurting her friend.
"Jamie." Tyler chuckled as he called after her
He followed after her. Jamie slammed her palms on the desk making Sarah jump.
"So you're the girl who kissed my best friend's boyfriend." Jamie said looking at her through slits
Sarah just sat there unresponsive.
"Enjoy your time at Spenser." Jamie said sarcastically
Tyler scoffed and rolled his eyes. Jamie looked at Sarah up and down one more time then walked off to her seat. Tyler sat beside her leaving her stuck between Pogue and him. Tyler knew what a hothead she could be when she was really pissed. She'd been in a few girl fights back in the day long before Jake or Raya came. He missed them here. They kind of made this place less boring.
Looking over at Jamie he noticed her laying her head on the desk and her eyes weren't angry. They were sad. She missed them all too. maybe it was because she finally fit somewhere, but Tyler wasn't completely sure.
